LOPEZ-MERA, Silvio Fernando. How Far is SDG # 8 for Colombia? A Decade of Measuring Decent Work. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2021, n.43, e10710914.  Epub May 01, 2021. ISSN 1657-6357.  https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i43.10914.

On the road to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals -SDGs- the concern for decent work in nations becomes relevant. This study, based on the DANE’s Large Integrated Household Survey, Fasecolda’s RLDatos of occupational risks, and the Sislab system of the National Union School, estimates for the period 2010-2019 a set of indicators that account for the reality, evolution, and challenges that Colombia has in the achievement of SDG # 8. The results indicate that before the start of the pandemic, Colombia had already been losing part of the ground it had accomplished in terms of quantity and quality of employment and that, in terms of decent work, there were important differences between territories and gender gaps, which added to the negative trend in several indicators, indicate a significant distance from the goals of SDG # 8.

Keywords : Decent work; SDG; employment; Colombia; informality.
